RS-232 to fibre media converter

Transition Networks J/RS232-CF-01(SC)-NA extends an RS-232 serial link up to 9.32 miles over multi-mode fibre. The unit provides one DB-9 port and one SC duplex port in a wall-mountable enclosure measuring 1.0" high, 3.0" wide and 3.9" deep. Power and port LEDs give immediate link status.

Installers extending legacy serial equipment

This converter suits engineers who must carry RS-232 signals beyond copper distance limits in industrial or campus environments. It supports full or half-duplex operation at up to 120 Kb/s. Buyers needing higher serial throughput or single-mode fibre reach should look at other products.

9.32-mile multi-mode reach

The maximum supported distance of 9.32 miles over multi-mode fibre is the decisive specification. If the link length exceeds this figure, a different converter or single-mode solution is required.

Questions about this item

Does the J/RS232-CF-01(SC)-NA ship with the fibre patch cable and serial cable, or must I source them separately?

The unit includes the media converter with one DB-9 port and one SC duplex port; fibre patch cables and a DB-9 serial cable are not included and must be purchased separately.

The spec sheet shows a single SC duplex version — are there other connector or distance options I should consider?

This model provides one SC duplex interface rated for 9.32 miles over multi-mode fibre; no other connector types or reach variants are listed for this part number.

What does the 120 Kb/s headline rate mean when the converter is installed in a live RS-232 link?

The converter transports asynchronous serial data at up to 120 Kb/s full or half duplex, so the fibre link will not bottleneck typical RS-232 equipment running at standard baud rates.
